Have searched for many years for a marriage for these two Gt Grandparents. Wonder if anyone can help. Facts: William born Herts 1821-d Islington 1881.carman/wood merchant. Myra b Tilbury Essex. abt 1821 -d Islington 1895, shopkeeper. Census records found: 1861 (Miria mis-spelling) 1871, 1881. Children: Stephen (Stevan) b 144, Edmonton, shoemaker, no marriage found; Alice b Barnet, Herts Jun 1849, d 15 Jul 1921, Brentford, married George Quick Wardell 1875; 3 children b Islington: Matilda c1854-Jun 1924 married Thomas M Elllis 1875; William b 1858, married Elizabeth Miller 1885; Charles b Apr 1861-d Sep 1926 horse flesh dealer, married Harriet Maria Perry 1879. Need to find Myra's maiden name. Marriage probably was early 1840s. Any helpful suggestions gratefully received! |

I can't find a marriage (maybe they never married) but this looks like Matilda's birth:- |

Trying to find a possible birth record for our Gt Grandmother Alice Watson. She was born Barnet according to 1861 census & then aged 12, so a 1849 birth would be about right. Not found the family in 1841 or 1851 which may have been before they arrived in islington. one would have thought Gt Gt Grandmother having a less usual name would have been helpful, but obviously not. Myra used in subsequent generations indicates that is the correct spelling. The youngest brother seems to have the right wife - gave his sons unusual names too. Perhaps I should work on him some more |

You really would have done better to have posted this on either Genealogy Chat or Find Ancestors as there are several other helpers on those Boards who never look at General Chat. |

Thank you for that comment. i have not used Genes Reunited for a while and unfortunately had problems sorting out changes on this web site so that I use the correct posting system. The listings are not that clear. I am obviously after particular information help rather than general chat. Will try a different approach. |

you may as well leave it here now Meriel - it doesn't matter that much really :-) |
